Frederik Pohl (November 26, 1919 – September 2, 2013) was an American science fiction writer, editor, and fan, with a career spanning more than seventy-five years. From about 1959 until 1969, Pohl edited Galaxy and its sister magazine If; the latter won three successive annual Hugo Awards as the year's best professional magazine. His writing also won him three Hugos and multiple Nebula Awards. He became a Nebula Grand Master in 1993. Pohl wrote more than fifty novels, including such well-known works as The Space Merchants (1953) and Gateway (1977). His novels were often deeply satirical, and explored such themes as the impact of technology on society, the dangers of unchecked power, and the potential of human evolution. He also wrote non-fiction, including essays on science and technology, and books about astronomy and history. Pohl was an active member of science fiction fandom, and in 1936 he co-founded the New York–based Futurians, a group of science fiction fans and writers. He was inducted into the Science Fiction and Fantasy Hall of Fame in 1998.
